Vocals provided by the lovely Deanna Baldi :P

Sorry the quality's so low, 128kbps is the highest I could go without going over 8 megabyte :\

EDIT: Made the vocals louder

Lyrics are below. Beware, let he who hath understanding reckon ... that these are some corny lyrics :P

-------------- -------------- --------------- ------------- -------------- ----------- -------------

And I see them all,
crowded round my grave.
And they're all singing,
and they're singing for me.

And I see them all,
crowded round my grave.
Why are they singing?
Why are they singing for me?

What did I ever do
to deserve their respect?
I wasn't worth a penny
last time I checked.

When they treat me like crap,
what do they expect?
but still they're singing,
and they're singing for me.

(guitar)

They cry out their hearts to me
when they showed no love in life.
Why do they send me their tears
when they long only for strife?
Why do they care?

And I watch them there
sitting at my bed,
feeling heart-broken
and traumatised.

And I watch them there
sitting at my bed,
feeling forsaken,
hearts crystalised.

A tear rolls down her cheek
for her dear lost son.
A drink passes his lips,
wishing this all undone.

Seeing it all,
it's so hard to shun.
their hearts are broken,
broken by me.

I ... just can't
be ... lieve that
my ... falling
could ... cause this.

I ... just can't
take ... that my
end ... could cause
all ... of this grief.

Where did all this caring come from?
When did all this loving start?
Why did I just never see it?
Why was it held from my heart?

Where are all the happy people?
Why are they such mournful people?
Where are all the joyful people?
Where has everybody gone?

Where did all this caring come from?
When did all this loving start?
Why did I just never see it?
Why was it held from my heart?

And I see them now,
crowded round my grave,
and still they're singing.
They're still singing for me.

And I see them now,
crowded round my grave,
and still they're crying.
They're still crying for me.

Seeing what I've done,
why'd I have their respect?
I wasn't worth a penny
now that I've checked.

Treated like crap,
their lives I've wrecked,
but still they're singing,
and they're singing for me.

What have I done?
What have I done?

The organs are a lil overbearing

They make the rest of the mix hard to hear, including the lyrics, which should probably be the most audible part of any mix, at least imho.

When the guitar came in, I could barely hear it.

Personally, I would have used a piano instead of an organ in order to avoid this problem completely, but it feels like the organ is an integral part of your composition, so I just recommend that you turn the volume of the organ down.

The mixing isn't all that great on this song. But the chords and the melodies are all pretty good.

Sorry for the score, I really am, cuz I hate to give out scores lower than 7 cuz I know how much it hurts to recieve stuff like that, but I can only give this a 6.8 at the most when everything is wrapped together.

However, I will say that the emotion of this track is unique, that's pretty awesome if I say so myself.

Also, kudos for a 7 minute composition. I'd imagine that took ages to do. And the lyrics are pretty good too, Deanna has a nice voice.

HaniiPuppy responds:

Thanks ^_^

I want to go over this song in the future when I'm better on the production side - I consider myself more of a writer than a producer - of music, I'll keep this in mind.

The reason the organ was so much louder - and the reason I used an organ in the first place - was because according to the story told, the organ's really the only thing instrument that's actually there, seeing as it starts off and ends at a funeral.

Once again, Thanks ^_^

Ah...

I always like the audio portal because every so often, I find beautiful music like this, and it's difficult to please me music-wise, lots of the time I just stamp 0 on it, but this one deserves full points, simply because I like it very much, good job.

HaniiPuppy responds:

oO thankyou ^_^

Gneric topic

i really enjoyed this song has a nice melidy to it..im not sure if you were trying for the ghost effect with the vocals or not but i think they need to be turned up for in certin parts of the song if i had not had the lyrics provided to me i would not have been able to tell what she was signing

HaniiPuppy responds:

Point noted. I'll go through it and raise the volume later today while I'm up at dad's house.

EDIT: done it :P
